Soldier Lyrics - Singles - Francis Dunnery

In every story that you meet 

Lies a happy ever after 

You see it on the people that you greet 

If you stop them for a while 

Say what am I gonna do 

If I'm leaving in a fight with you 

And how am I gonna fight 

You always bring me water 

and I need your water by my side 

(Chorus) 

Soldier, this is your life 

And you cant run 

And you cant hide 

In the town 

And out in the pouring rain 

With an aching in your side 

And my future is down memory lane 

Cause the present is much to hard 

Soldier, this is your life 

(end chorus) 

Across the sand dunes 

In a room 

There are soldiers on the phone 

They're calling all the people that they love 

Cause they cant wait to come home 

Say who are you gonna be 

If you're always waiting there for me 

And when will I be free 

You say you carried my daughter 

And I need my daughter next to me 

(Chorus) 

Soldier, this is your life 

And you can't run 

And you cant hide 

In the town 

And out in the pouring rain 

With an aching in your side 

And my future is down memory lane 

Cause the present is much to hard 

Soldier, this is your life 

(end chorus) 

Sail home, get back in my home clothes 

Sail home, get back in my home clothes 

Sitting round the fire at midnight 

Calling all my family on my cell 

Sail home, get back in my home clothes 

Hearing all the sounds across the world 

Sitting in this final hell 

Sail home, get back in my home clothes 

And I wonder if I'll ever get out of here 

Only gods time will tell 

Sail home, get back in my home clothes 

Say what am I gonna do 

Sail home, get back in my home clothes 

Say what am I gonna do 

Sail home, get back in my home clothes 

Say what am I gonna do 

Sail home, get back in my home clothes 

(repeat) 

Soldier, this is your life.
